What makes all the difference in your Effort.................

 

Have you ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried repairing, one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was in his teens. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars."What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."The man sent a bill that says, "Tapping with a hammer $2 and Knowing where to tap $9998". Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference. Friends, In the same way our life is like a ship. We many times have so many things to be done right but for which we cannot repair or find the right solution. We should know where exactly to get right so that our lives may be made smooth. Lets invite Jesus Christ today to makes us right as he already bore the expenses on the cross and make our lives right.

Solution for Our Problems...........

Solution for Our Problems...........

 

Once, their was a man who used to sell sugar across villages. He had a donkey that use to carry bags of sugar everyday for this man. While traveling the man and the donkey have to cross a pool of water, a bridge to travel across another village. Everyday the donkey used to carry bags of sugar and help the man. One day the donkey fell in the water as they were crossing the bridge. The sugar was melted and the burden on the donkeys back was lessened. The donkey felt so happy and it started doing it everyday. But the poor man was going into losses everyday. So one day the man was really upset and decided to sell away the donkey to a washer men {Dhobi}. The donkey now had to carry cloths from one village to another everyday. It has to cross the bridge. Now donkey thought that if at all he fell in the bridge again his burden who have been lessen. As it though he through himself in the water. The clothes were wet and the burden was too much for the donkey to take and it drowned in the water and died finally. Friends, when we are over burdened with loads of problems in our lives, we always try to find solutions by our selves and finally end up in wrong things which in turn take away our lives. Its always better to cast our burdens upon the Lord who will take care of the rest instead of we trying to find the wrong things out and put our selves into problems. If we are facing a problem today, it means God already have a solution with him. With out he having a solution he will not allow the problem to torment us. So best solution is to seek him {Jesus Christ}.

Compassion.........

Compassion.........

Even amidst a huge crowd Abraham Lincoln the President of USA, spotted and approached a poor young man. When he gestured him to spell out his plea, he presented his case, "President, I was formerly a drummer in the army. A terrible disease attacked me and I am the under medication. There is no one to help me" President then enquired whether his parents were alive and found that he was an orphan. The heart of Abraham Lincoln was moved with compassion and immediately he gave a chit to the Army Captain to help that young man. The Christ-like compassion flowed from the heart of Abraham Lincoln. Today, let us examine whether we have this virtue of Christ-like compassion in us. "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him" (Acts 10:38).

A Flower of God's Design.............

A Flower of God's Design.............

A young preacher was walking with an older more seasoned preacher in the garden one day and the younger preacher, feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the WILL OF GOD for his life and for his ministry. Because of his high respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to TRY to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact it wasn't long before he realized how impossible it was to do so. Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud while keeping it intact, the older preacher began to recite the following poem. "It is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God's design; but I cannot unfold the petals with these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I. GOD opens this flower so sweetly. When in my hands they die. If I cannot unfold a rosebud this flower of God's design. Then how can I have the wisdom to unfold this life of mine? So I'll trust in Him for leading each moment of my day. I will look to him for His guidance each step of the pilgrim way. The pathway that lies before me, only my Heavenly Father knows. I'll trust Him to unfold the moments, just as He unfolds the rose"

The Important Things In Life...............

The Important Things In Life...............

 

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2″ in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes." "Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your Church, your Ministry, your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pray everyday to God, give thanks for what He has done, Love every one and Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and give a dinner. Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

Life through Spirit

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Romans 8:11

 

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children

Romans 8:15,16

 

 

Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38

Pleasing God.............

Pleasing God..............

There was an old man, a boy and a donkey. They were going to town and they decided that the boy should ride. As they went along they passed by some people who thought that it was a shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The old man and boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they changed positions. Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real shame for an old man to ride and make such a small boy walk. Then they decided may be they should walk. Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to walk when they had a donkey to ride. The old man and the boy decided may be the critics were right so they decided that they both should ride. They soon passed by other people who thought that it was a shame to put such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story is...if you'r trying to please everyone, you will eventually lose your everything. It is always the will of God that we live a life worth of Him, pleasing Him, bearing fruit, growing in our knowledge of Him, and being strengthened by his power. To be pleasing to God we are to be sanctified. That is, set apart for Him. And that is in both the good and the bad times. Praise from your heart is always a sacrifice in which He is well pleased.
